Dandy Nicholls' propensity for winning this famous race is well known and one of his five winners in the last 10 years was REGAL PARADE in 2008. He beat stablemate Tajneed, who is also back for another try, on that occasion and has since developed into a high-class sprinter. Without a win in Group company this season, he's dropped 11lb in the handicap and looks a cracking each-way bet from the high side of the draw. The progressive Hawkeyethenoo also exits a high stall, while Eton Rifles can choose his position from stall 16, but carries a 5lb penalty for his earlier win at Goodwood. Richard Fahey chose a low draw for his five runners and the three-year-old Mayson looks to have been laid out for this with just the one prep run this year and Paul Hanagan on board. Hat-trick hero Pepper Lane hasn't stopped improving yet and James Fanshawe also preferred a low draw for Mac's Power. Last year's Silver Cup winner Colonel Mak, Irish raider Croisultan and the enigmatic High Standing are others to consider.
